It doesn't make you any less of an idiot. Maybe more, actually. If you can do better for yourself, you do it. You don't just let potential fester. If you waste your potential, then you never had it in the first place. I don't care if you say you "know the material," the whole point of worksheets is the reinforce that knowledge, to expand upon it. If you don't do any worksheet, there's a good chance you're not going to learn everything. If you don't make the effort to learn, you're not learning, you're just temporarily retaining information to ... as you put it: "pass." Passing isn't good enough. If you don't put in effort, you're a failure. Post secondary won't be kind to you if you don't do your work. I'm not even there yet and I know that. You just might make it through first year courses, those are the dull ones. But you will not be able to stand being a lazy ------. It's good that the world needs ditch-diggers, too. ... Maybe you'll go back to school later in life once you've matured, and let's hope you mature. Now, there is a minority of mere highschool graduates who do not get their post secondary who earn more than 55% of those that do (I know, it's phrased strangely, sorry). But you need skills to do that, and there aren't too many people who accomplish that. Some of those people are those brilliant people working at the oil fields. Of course, by brilliant I mean absolute morons. These rig-pigs don't even need a highschool education to work there and still make loads of cash. Is the lifestyle recommended? No, and I won't bother going into that. Just take my word for it: it's a horrible idea. However, no matter what I say, the idiot-babies will still go for these supposedly "cushie" jobs. Do not bring up the point that you don't necessarily need an education to do well in life. It is a loose argument. Also, your advice is retarded. I'm not even afraid to call it that in the throngs of the modern "political correctness." I don't mean it in the sense that you're mental abilities are decreased due to a diagnosed condition, but that your parents really should have worn condoms. This is why some people shouldn't be in the gene pool. If you sway even one person, I think you've done enough damage. Of course, someone would have to be short a brain to take your advice, but maybe with some ray of hope they might take a different path. And Diverse, I've got some news for you, but I'll keep it as a spoiler because I'm not sure if you've found it out yet: *SPOILER, HIGHLIGHT AT YOUR OWN RISK, DIVERSE!* [color=#000000;background:#000000]You're an idiot.[/color] And you've proven that time and time again. ~ "It's hard to fail, even on purpose." Maybe for you. Some people are a lot more naturally inclined for education and knowledge. All you've done here is prove that you're an elitist, nothing else. I had a friend who tried so hard in math class as she was OK in everything else, but math was her downfall. She did extra assignments to try and learn more, got a private tutor, went to special prep classes (kind of like... Cram school, I guess), went into class early to get help on questions and still struggled. She failed. She was the hardest worker in a class I've ever seen, and yet she still failed. Is she an idiot? Well, yes. But I still find her to be a fun person. Anyone who comments something along the lines of "lol she was sleeping with her teacher roflz" ... well I have nothing to say because it'd be funny (although now I've ruined that joke, haven't I?). ~ "its like using a calculator on math, when you could do it without one" No, it's not like using a calculator for math. By the time you hit highschool, using a calculator for multiplication, division, addition and subtration is warranted (although addition and subtraction should be able to be done in the head with fair ease). By that point, you should have the skill, if you don't, you're screwed for the math anyways. The questions get too long for use without a calculator and things such as trig tables and likes are outdated and useless. We use the calculators in highschool, then drop them for higher-up university maths. Maybe you never got experience logarithms (which were easy for some (like myself) but hard for others (like... a lot of people)), but sometimes they get large. Even in classes like Chemistry and Physics the equations become brutal. You can do it, but the processes you use the calculator for are so trivial, that you better not need one, for the reason stated earlier.
Based on the replies calling you stupid and the fact I didn't understand anything of what you said, you're stupid. I managed to pick something up about failing on purpose but I didn't catch why.. Yeah. Well done on that genius move.
but getting the answers from the internet doesnt help u, u gotta memorize them for the test lol, unless u get marked on hw and sh*t like that, which u dont here in Canada, only tests and assignments count, every day hw doesnt.
OHH WOW THIS MAN IS BRILLIANT HE SAVES SO MUCH MONEY ON JUNIOR COLLEGE TUITION... I MEAN HE SAVED CASH ON ~30 UNITS... OR $600 of you could just get a job since at $8 an hour *200 for the one class you had to repeat... you'de've been $1000 ahead...
